You can walk forward, even slowly, but you can never stop or go backwards

I used to think:
I used to think that mental health simply meant the over exaggeration of emotions, or simply just being less “average” compared to normal human beings. I assumed that it was a simple disease, and there was only one category, which is obviously wrong. I also thought it was simple to fix, like a normal disease, which is not correct.
Now I know:
But now, I learned that there are several different types of diseases, which is important to know, as they differ hugely. Also, I learned that it is a big deal and we also need to learn it, because it can happen to us too, and it can be dangerous. For example, we studied in class about 5 different mental health issues, each differing hugely from the others. There is: Eating disorder, PTSD, Bipolar disorder, Depression and Anxiety disorder. I learned specifically that eating disorders include Bulimia, Anorexia and also binge eating. These example all are evidence of my learning process.

This experience that taught me a lot about storytelling. First, I had to choose an interesting topic that would capture the reader’s attention. Then, I focused on organizing my story with a clear beginning, middle, and end. While writing, I made an effort to include vivid details and descriptions to help the reader feel the emotions and visualize the scenes. Finally, I carefully revised my essay to check for grammar and spelling mistakes, ensuring that my story flowed smoothly. This process not only improved my writing skills but also helped me express my thoughts and feelings more effectively.
My ELA Narative
My 3 goals are:
-Improving my math grades
-Decrease my swimming time in the next three weeks.
-Read 3 more books everyday to increase my reading time
The TTg I want to work on is skillful communicator because I want to use more global languages and be better at my presentations.
Areas I need to grow on include the need for better comunicatio skills, as I only got 3 fours and a 3 in one standard for the social studie debate. This means I can improve even more.
Evidence of Organization
My science notebook was well organized, neat a ready to use with a readable index to know where all the information is.
Evidence of Active Learner Habits
3 learner skill I improved on was demonstrating persistence, aware as a self learner and making improvements based on feedback.
Evidence of Understanding of Key Concepts
This is a piece of evidence that I am doing well in science class for semester 1 and 2.
Evidence of Growth in Science Skills
Proof of improvement
As shown in the gradebook, the second CER had a improvement in writing quality. My growth in science class this yeas may mainly about engaging n arguments from evidence.
I believe I did fairly well on my badminton unit. Reflecting on my experience in the 8th-grade badminton unit, I found it to be both challenging and rewarding. I improved my skills in serving, rallying, and positioning on the court, which boosted my confidence in playing matches. The unit encouraged me to work closely with my classmates, enhancing my teamwork and communication abilities. I also gained a better understanding of the rules and strategies involved in badminton, which made the games more enjoyable.
Something I improved on was my ability to write passages. At the start of the year, I could barely write a full sentence without searching a word up, and now I can write a full passage. I could still improve on my reading skills and I think the most challenging part was getting better at writing.
Throughout this project, I have learned about the hippocampus, prefrontal cortex and the amygdala. Learning about these part of the brain helps me understand my emotions and being spatially aware of my surroundings.
One strength I bring to math class is my critical thinking, as I can always find ways to solve problems I do not know how to do. I also am good at handing in homework on time. One habit I want to work on for next year is my active learner, as I do not participate the most in class. I will work on this habit by reminding myself every class to at least raise my hand 2 times, and I will keep track of it on my microsoft reminders.
The first picture shows my work after, and it has improved, as there is now a clear title witha date and learning target, and all the sub sections are all properly labled for more clarity. Over time, my math notebook shows more clarity.
This is a page of the math summative for unit 2. This shows improvement of work over time as I started showing more work and the steps I took to sole this problem.
Overall, I belive that my math habit and action relfect a meeting if not exeeding in math, with a strong grasp and understanding of math concepts, and also good writing habits.
